The Ice Maiden was sacrificed to the gods on Ampato more than 500 years ago. Her frozen body was discovered by Reinhard in 1995.

The female mummy seems alive, as if she were only asleep.

Llamas (two of spondylus and one of silver) and two male statues (of spondylus and gold/silver) were found placed in a row, as if forming a symbolic caravan for those who were sacrificed.
